About Me

My name's Josh, this isn't really a band profile, more of a personal thing, but I wanted to be able to put my songs up on here too. I'm a sound engineer, producer, promoter, whatever based in sunny Darlington. I run a small PA and production project called Orphic Audio, I do bits of promotion too, most recently for the Dissonance night on Fridays at Bacchaus, and I play in a couple of bands, the main one being Grand Guignol . I also take pictures around nights and gigs when I can, I'm a rubbish photographer but I'm mint at photoshop so just take hundreds and edit the best ones. Oh, I also have a forum, and hopefully at some point an actual website to attach to it - www.northeastresistance.co.uk/forum - It's mainly there to help support the local music scene but feel free to go talk about any old shite on there if the mood takes you.
What else? I'm terribly easily distracted and have the attention span of a small duck, which is something my loving friends have had to put up with for aeons, I can talk about things you really don't care about for hours upon end, and I am a massive geek who loves techy stuff and has far more games than is good for a young man to own. The flip side of this is that I can be of use to society by my almost supernatural ability to fix random stuff with no prior knowledge as to how they actually worked - PCs, guitars, effects units, games consoles, pretty much anything except relationships, which just confuse me with their lack of wires, logical components and reset button. I'm sure I'll figure one out at some point though.
